STATGRAPHICS Sigma Expressis an "add-in" for
Microsoft Excel that enables users to perform various calculations
required when learning or applying Six Sigma. It adds a menu selection to Excel
containing sections for each item of the DMAIC paradigm (Define,
Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control)
plus additional menu items for Tools and Help. The
contents are sufficient to cover the needs of yellow belts, green belts and most
black belts. In addition, it is similar enough to STATGRAPHICS
Centurion that users can easily upgrade to that product if they need
additional statistical capabilities.

How are data selected in STATGRAPHICS Sigma Express?

Data are
selected by first highlighting it in your Excel worksheet and
then selecting a procedure from the STATGRAPHICS section that
has been added to the Excel menu.

How are results displayed?

Results are
displayed in a STATGRAPHICS analysis window with
multiple panes for tables and graphs. Users may interact with
the graphs to change any graphics attribute, drag existing text
or add new text, zoom and pan, rotate 3D graphs, and click on
points to retrieve associated data.

How are tables and graphs
saved?

When
satisfied with the output, it may be pasted back into the Excel
worksheet or into another application such as Word or PowerPoint.
It may also be sent directly to a printer or saved in an image
file.
